2.
Yes, we all know it.
The Balmain sparkly mini dress/blazer/boot look was EVERYWHERE this year (after seeing the embellished heels from Spring 2009 duplicated at a Journey's store, I gave an exasperated sigh)
my thoughts on this look range between "alright, enough already!" and "This is too fun!"


So the other day I played with my own inspiration
...I whipped out this little number that has been hanging in the back of my closet for some time now....

this dress came out of a hole-in-the-wall vintage shop in the East Village over the summer. Luckily for me, when I found it, I noticed it had no price tag and I just held it up to the groovy cashier dude & after a shrug and $20, it was mine. SCORE!!
